Ferguson Michael Brown Shooting: 'Boycott Black Friday' Aims to Hit America Where it Hurts

Momentum is building on social media to boycott the Black Friday sales in order to hit corporate America "where it hurts" over the fatal police shooting of Michael Brown.

The Justice for Michael Brown Leadership Coalition is organising the 'No Justice, No Profit' boycott campaign on Thanksgiving Day (27 November), through to Sunday. Black Friday is traditionally the day that kicks off the Christmas buying period with retailers across America offering big discounts to jump-start the busiest shopping days of the year.

Yeah, I think the absence of this particular group of “consumers” will not be a bane to the retail business owners.

Unload your NIKE stock now.

Huge markdown sales on leftover Jordans coming up if the idiots boycott Black Friday.

LOL.

Shoplifting loses to be unseasonably low this year.

They do not want to boycott shopping just payment of goods.
Who needs to pay when you can get all you want free at the Ferguson fire sale!
And that pic of the market? I thought those nice boys were there to pay the water bill!

My sons like to wear their Speedo “jammers,” which are like bicycle shorts, and then a “fashionable” bathing suit over it. I guess it reduces flappage.

And they think that boycotting “corporate America” will accomplish just what?

To be frank, if the haters decide to boycott Black Friday that is probably an attempt to be credited with having greater numbers than they do, since Black Friday has had an inverse relationship to Cyber Monday, which continues to grow.

I have been "boycotting" black friday my entire adult life simply because I have no desire to deal with the madness.

Somehow, I don't think that the unwashed miscreants who plan on "boycotting" black friday over the death of the "gentle giant" are going to have much of an impact.

Besides; they tend to prefer to help themselves to products without the inconvenience of paying for them. All in the name of "social justice", of course.

I wish these people would stay home. But as they seem to have absolutely no self-control, if they feel like shopping, they’ll be at the stores.

Do those morons know that the pants low is a prisoner’s indication that he is available to be buggered?

What does corporate American have to do with Michael Brown?

A number of them "failed" to reopen and re-stock the shelves for this last round of looting.

It’s just a scam to try to look bigger than they really are. Black Friday has been trending down for years, people increasingly shop Cyber Monday.

Dumbasses.
They never buy anything anyway. They steal it.
They already took care of Ferguson.Their own nest.
Good luck, morons.

I do hope the Justice Department or an actually efficient non-criminal government agency adds up all the $losses of the damage done nationwide.
All the result of the actions of one retard, bully 305-pound "unarmed" thug, and the race-bait merchants, egging them on.

Guess they'll just have to increase property and sales taxes in Ferguson.

Has anyone seen a list of all the major cities which joined in the mau-mau violence? I know, locally, there's San Francisco, Oakland, Los Angeles, Sacramento; but I suspect the liberal East and Midwest can add a couple dozen major cities to that list.

I suggest the billions$ in damage be paid out of the existing (non-supplemented) Federal and State welfare budgets. It's bad enough that the American taxpayers have already been ripped off. Again.

I just realized as a much smaller woman I would need a box cutter and a pistol to even get close to his “unarmed” status.

A boycott where you don't buy goods/services might hurt.

A boycott where you don't LOOT and STEAL goods/services.... not so much.
